Michigan Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the CourtCorrigan, J.
Plaintiff appeals as of right the grant of summary disposition to defendant hospital pursuant to MCR 2.116(C)(8) (failure to state a claim) and MCR 2.116(0(10) (no issue of material fact). In this case of first impression, we hold that the question of good-faith compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (uaga), MCL 333.10101 et seq.; MSA 14.15(10101) et seq., is one of law for the court and that the circuit court correctly ruled that because defendant hospital had acted in good faith, it was entitled to immunity under the uaga._
